We are pleased to announce the release of version 11 of the EasyReader App. 

EasyReader App v11 is now available across a wide range of platforms including iOS, iPadOS, Android, Amazon Fire, Windows, macOS.

You can also use EasyReader on Chromebooks with Android app support enabled.  

What’s New

The latest release of EasyReader App removes even more barriers to accessible reading. It introduces new features and improvements, so people with vision impairments and dyslexia can access and read more books.

The latest version of EasyReader App makes everything easier, including the way you access your library or book collection.   

As always, the EasyReader App is free to download and use. You can download and read books with text, text-to-speech (TTS) and audio from your preferred accessible libraries.
 

Getting Started with EasyReader App

It's now even easier to get started with EasyReader App.

From the release of version 11, a Dolphin Account is not required. Instead, you can go straight into the ‘My Books’ list in your EasyReader App, and sign in to your preferred library service.

Please note:

• If you already use the free EasyReader App with a Dolphin Account, you can of course continue to do so.
• If you would like to take advantage of exclusive reading features available in EasyReader Premium, you will need to set up and use a Dolphin Account.

Improved Error Messaging

In rare cases, there are instances where EasyReader App is unable to load titles from a connected library service into the Reader. This may be due to an invalid book or a failed connection when opening a streaming book.

To ensure you can get to the bottom of any issues, we have updated our error messaging information.  So, if a book fails to load, EasyReader App now displays a more informative message to provide you with details on what to do next.

These messages also include a link to Dolphin Knowledge Base articles as these contain helpful information to support you further and provide additional tips and information on how to proceed.
